Deeper Natural Gas Wells?

We own no minerals in Louisiana but I try to keep an eye on wells in Caddo and DeSoto parishes because they are contiguous to Harrison and Panola Counties.

If I am reading the information correctly, there are currently 5 operators (Chesapeake, Covey Park, etc) drilling directional wells to depths of over 20,000 feet in the western portion of these two parishes at present.  The experts will know if I am incorrect on the depth.

Regarding horizontal wells, there are two depths given for a well. The first is the True Vertical Depth (TVD). The second is the Measured Depth (MD). The differences is, roughly, the length of the horizontal lateral. The TVD is important in defining the formation that is being targeted.

I'm sure Julie could answer your question.

You're welcome, Kathy.  All the land owners help us to keep up with the what and where of development activity across our region. A mutual aid society if you will.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
